paint, decorations and ice cream

 After 3 months of paint swatches, bad decisions, painting these 4 walls, and then doing in all over again, I FINALLY PICKED PAINT FOR THIS ROOM!!!  Before this the color was RH Silver Sage.  I love that color! Just not on these walls.  This room turns every color a muddy shade of itself.  I was going crazy.  I decided to try blue.  I LOVE IT!!  It was back to Restoration Hardward for this awesome Atmosphere Blue color.  It is a brighter blue that shows in this picture, and it is perfect!  And even better, i now love my red brick fireplace too!  (I have since wiped down the sanding on it, so it looks cuter).  I sleep better now.  AND I finally felt like a part of the house was ready for some Christmas cheer.  I love Christmas, and this has made my day!  I can't really decorate any other part of the house yet, so I was in a good mood for the rest of that day!

And the next!  Sophie got ice cream after school without me saying "...not until you practice piano"...which is my carrot I dangle in front of her on a daily basis.  ("you can do _______ after you practice!")  I must have been in a really good mood, so I took her and her friend.  No strings attached.



So much more to do!  But it is a start :)
